Choose the appropriate dry box gloves, select the corresponding material based on the working conditions: mainly consider chemical compatibility, air tightness, cleanliness and anti-static properties, as well as whether there are special protections such as nuclear radiation. There are 8 common materials, each with its own strengths.

 

Latex Box Gloves

The advantage is that it is wear-resistant. It is not easy to tear or scratch, and it also offers protection against mild acids and alkalis. It is suitable for environments with frequent wear and tear, such as laboratories, lithium battery manufacturing, and automotive manufacturing. Note that it is divided into left and right hands, which is different from the type that can be used with both hands. Its strength lies in wear resistance rather than chemical resistance. If it is in prolonged contact with organic solvents, the material should be changed.

 

BUTYL BOX GLOVES

Anhydrous, oxygen-free and inert atmosphere chambers are usually given priority because of their good air tightness, which makes it difficult for water vapor and oxygen to penetrate. The chemical compatibility is also sufficient. It can protect against ketones, acids, esters and organic amines. Within the range of the manual, it has the ability to prevent tritium and hydrofluoric acid. It is commonly used at -20 to +90℃ and is incompatible with aliphatic solvents and halogenated hydrocarbons. There is also a more durable oily version with a temperature resistance of up to +100° C.

 

NITRILE BOX GLOVES

Its strength lies in cleanliness and flexibility. It features low particle shedding, excellent electrostatic discharge characteristics, flexibility, and ease of fine operation. It can withstand temperatures up to 120℃ and is commonly used in clean scenarios such as pharmaceuticals, isolators, and incubators. When exposed to strong oxidizing acids or ketones, the protection is insufficient and other materials need to be used instead.

 

Anti-static Latex Gloves

For working conditions that are sensitive to static electricity, it can prevent the accumulation of static electricity on the gloves themselves and does not attract dust. It is often used in semiconductor, electronic, lithium battery and dust-free workshops. It addresses the issue of static electricity. If there is chemical corrosion at the same time, an additional layer of chemical-resistant material should be added as a safety net.

 

EPDM BOX GLOVES

It can be repeatedly sterilized by high temperature and high pressure without becoming sticky or affecting its impermeability. It has excellent insulation properties and is suitable for flammable and explosive environments. It can tolerate hydrogen peroxide and most common disinfectants. It is commonly used at temperatures ranging from -20 to +120° C and is frequently found in pharmaceuticals, high-activity raw material filling, and scientific research. It is recommended to first check the compatibility of the specific medium to be in contact with.

 

NEOPRENE GLOVES

It is widely used in chemical engineering scenarios. It provides protection against common acids, alkalis, and alcohols, and is also resistant to hydrocarbons. It is flexible and not easy to tear. It is applicable in chemical engineering, lithium batteries, and pharmaceuticals. Note two points: Chloroprene rubber has poor cold resistance and is not suitable for use at low temperatures. Strong oxidizing media such as concentrated nitric acid are not applicable and should be avoided.

 

CSM BOX GLOVES

Resistant to strong oxidation and strong corrosion. It has strong antioxidant capacity, is resistant to ozone and ultraviolet rays, and has good air tightness. Concentrated nitric acid, concentrated hydrochloric acid, concentrated alkali, ammonia water, etc. can be given priority. It is a special material and is generally not used in ordinary working conditions.

 

RADIATION RESISTANT BOX GLOVES

Specifically designed for nuclear protection, it has the ability to protect against Y-rays, X-rays and neutrons, and is resistant to radiation aging. It is mainly used in nuclear radiation chemical industry and scientific research cabinets. It is a high-risk specialized part. It should be selected according to the applicable scope given by the manufacturer and is not suitable to replace ordinary chemical protective gloves.
